55 3s and the regulation isn't over. Classic Bulls defense.

One decade without defending the 3pt line. What a joke

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

The team played better with Zach out. It can’t be argued against. I’m not sure it’s a Zach issue though. I think it’s just the combination of Zach, Vuc and Demar not working. We need a minimum of one of them moved and quickly.

Personally, I’d prefer Vuc go first. The Warriors want a big man. Send him there.

Then I’d move Demar next. He has value. It would stop us from resigning him. That would be a big mistake.

I’d still move Zach if possible. He needs a change of scenery. I’m not sure we can, but I’d try.

Then we just begin rebuilding with whatever assets we get back. Play the kids the rest of the season and see what happens.

This team as constructed is not going to win anything. We need to aim higher than the play in game. No shot to win it all with this team. That should be the goal. If it is, we need to change the roster.

The double big lineup worked because of Ayo and Caruso. We need the perimeter defense to go with the size.
Ayo was huge for that run and hasn't been seen since.

Vuc is cooked. Don’t understand why Ayo wasn’t getting minutes in the 4th.

There should never ever be a scenario where Vuc shoots the most 3s in a game.

I was done with him after the Spurs game. Dude Bumslayed and we still almost lost because he can't defend.
He has no legs on either end of the floor and it hurts to watch.

It doesn't help when Zach and DeMar are out there at the same time, but Vooch doesn't do anyone any favors.

The three of them can't be out there together. Two of them w/ 3 defenders seems fine... but you can't ask two defenders to scramble on defense and help gang rebound.

Has nothing to do with Lavine.
We had an easy mostly home game schedule. Bulls are now getting the flip side of being away for most of the schedule. Bulls are terrible on Away games.
I said we're going to start losing a ton of games as soon as the Home games stopped, and that's what's happening.

It’s not exclusively a Zach issue but you can’t have 4 players on the court at the same time that can’t defend effectively (Coby, Zach, Demar, Vuc). Ad much as we like to believe there’s 5 Caruso’s that’s not actually true.

Bulls not rebuilding! Who want to watch 5 years of Detroit basketball? Derozen comes off the books at the end of the year and you look to move Lavine for a good player and a pick.

We desperately need to trade Vuc and then choose 1 of Zach or Demar to keep for the rest of the season.

I’m sick of watching this collective of players that are supposed to be our ‘best’.

I didn't even watch the game, but enough is enough. Vuc has just got to go. Can't believe how much we still owe him. He's sooooooo the Carlos Boozer / Pau Gasol of this team, at best right now. Most likely we'd immediately be better signing Taj Gibson and playing him over Vuc. Never before has there been a player as competent and skilled as Vuc who was more ineffective. Smh.

We desperately need to stop playing these 3 guys together. They should literally never see floor at the same time, unless we're playing the Pistons, Spurs or Wizards.
